From LSJ

Τὸ νικᾶν αὐτὸν αὑτὸν πασῶν νικῶν πρώτη τε καὶ ἀρίστη. Τὸ δὲ ἡττᾶσθαι αὐτὸν ὑφ' ἑαυτοῦ πάντων αἴσχιστόν τε ἅμα καὶ κάκιστον. → Τo conquer yourself is the first and best victory of all, while to be conquered by yourself is of all the most shameful as well as evil

2.
Grammatical information: f.
Meaning: elk (Paus. )
Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [302] *h₁el- red, brown
Etymology: Like Lat. alcēs, alcē (Caesar), a loan from Germanic. Cf. ON elgr from PGm. *alʒí-, beside which a form with initial stress, PGm. *álχ-, is supposed on which alcēs and ἄλκη go back. The West-Germanic form has e-: OHG. elahho > NHG Elch, OE eolh, and has a different stem, PGm. *élχa(n)-. Slavic forms like Russ. losь elk suppose PIE *olḱis , which are compared with ON elgr. - One connects the root with a great number of words for animals , e. g. ἔλαφος (q. v.), see Pok. 302, and assumes that the root indicated a colour; what Frisk called "sehr hypothetisch und unwahrscheinlich." - I think that an IE word or root must be doubted; it may well be a loan from a non-IE language.
